      Pros

      KPMG provides some of the most diverse and valuable experience you will ever get in any job. The work is intellectually stimulating, never boring and client-facing. Be prepared for extensive travel. The training is good. Having KPMG on your CV gives you a great boost in the job market.

      Cons

      Work-life balance is extremely difficult to maintain, especially if you are an efficient worker. Clients always come first. There is a large amount of travelling, which can take a toll on personal relationships. As you move up the ranks, the amount of technical expertise needed becomes less as the junior staff generally do the work and management reviews the work. To progress in the management ranks, sales skills are required to bring in business.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Opportunity to learn a lot about different industries from a financial reporting point of view. Great networking opportunities. Average age of staff is mid to late 20's which makes for a good social atmosphere.

      Cons

      Difficult to maintain work-life balance due to cyclical nature of audit season, whereby work demands at time are unreasonable. Very results-oriented culture, whereby your efforts are not always recognized unless audit files have high recoverability rates. Constant pressure to meat deadlines is at times unreasonable given unpreparedness of many clients for year-end audit and financial statement distribution. Despite your best efforts, promotions are typically given to those who sacrifice work-life balance and work unreasonable hours, leading to a culture whereby personal sacrifices must be made to climb the corporate ladder.
